Ropes Mansion and Garden

- Regional draw
- Salem
Ropes Mansion and Garden provides a historic-house setting and a publicly accessible garden on Essex Street in Salem.
The property is cared for by Peabody Essex Museum, but its separate street location makes it a distinct stop from the main museum galleries.
Use PEM’s garden information for permitted hours and check any separate arrangements before expecting entry inside the house. The photograph shows the mansion exterior rather than the garden in bloom. Seasonal planting, weather and special activities can change what is visible during a visit.
